Selfless

The lucky among us learn about love
Honoring caring observing doves
A source of eternal longing the desire to be free
Of egos confining binds “me, me, me, me, me”

When we let go let self burn away
Real love emerges and carry’s our day
It’s not about what you get for yourself
It’s about shifting focus to everyone else

The source motherhood essence of birth
Caring for others gives you great girth
When your life shifts to you from me
That’s the key you discover and then you are free

It includes observing with eyes ears and heart
Knowing what others need makes you very smart
It’s giving not getting sharing the profound
It’s union communion providing enduring ground

Wisely understanding where they’re coming from
You give more than gold you give platinum
More coming back the reward you don’t want much
Giving fills your needs you get much more and such

Can you recall times in your life when taking care of others was your primary focus?
How did that make you feel?
What was the payoff for you?
What did it cost?
Who was the primary beneficiary?
What were the long term rewards?

I have always been a seeker, always looking for the answers to what seekers ponder. I can remember Dr. Maxwell Maltz and Psychocybernetics; Dr. Carl Rogers On Becoming a Person. Moving through my legal training and practicing law the focus was always about people and how to better their lives. All that searching, reading, studying and introspective work culminated in this collection of daily readings for seekers.

My work in the world has progressed from fighting legal cases to mediating divorces to helping people understand the essentials of relationship and collaborating to these poems. How can we collaborate effectively and work with each other in harmony to create the world we seek. How can we mindfully enable this world to become a place that works for all.

My prayer is that through introspection using these poems as a guide we can all grow together in making the world the Heaven on Earth we all aspire toward.
